gave McConnell, R-Ky., almost as much power over the government's direction as the president himself.

Not really. He's still the minority leader.

Who will benefit from the influx of new GOP senators next year. Dingy Harry has lost his filibuster-proof super majority. The Democrats will need GOP votes to get anything done of consequence done next year. That gives McConnell a lot of power.
